Dear LCTers,
I am very happy to announce that a journal article by Ralph Adendorff and
me on the first two tools (wording and charging) in our translation device
for axiological-semantic density in political news articles has been
published in the journal *Text & Talk*! I presented on this translation
device at LCT3.5. I hope others, especially people interested in axiology,
will find this a very useful example of how a translation device can be
created for this very useful, and challenging-to-enact, LCT concept.
Here's a link to the published version of the article:

Grace and peace,
Ian
